Ep. 610 – Drew Cloud (EVP, Pittsburgh Pirates)

Handling a legacy brand, while pushing its marketing into the future is a task that Drew Cloud has done more than few times in his career. As Executive Vice President of the Pittsburgh Pirates, Cloud oversees sales and marketing for a team founded in 1882. Cloud talks about his experience handling legacy brands, especially in Madison Square Garden with the New York Knicks, and as Vice President of the Phoenix Suns. Cloud discusses efforts made to enhance the community relations around the Pittsburgh areas, as well as how the sales efforts have started to change as well in the front office. Cloud shares his thoughts on NBA TMBO, and some of the misconceptions, as well as benefits, of the TMBO effort by the league toward enhancing revenue generation. Twitter: @Drew_Cloud
